I have got the scrapmetal H running and driving, and it is time to do final carb adjustments. I have got it running decently sitting still. I had to clean all the crud out of the carb as it was plugged solid in the passageway before the needle and seat...Somewhere around two turns out for the idle mix, and the main mixture on the bottom is around two and ahalf turns out. FLoat level set like it said in the kit.
Much of the running problem was the points, as I expected, as it has a 12 Volt battery in it and nobody bothered with a 12 volt coil. Got them cleaned up and it smoothed right out. It really doesn't run bad for a machine that was locked up for a few years. HOWEVER......I can't get it to run down the road in high gear. Which tells me power is still lacking. Any of you H professionals who want to let loose of your carb tuning secrets, I am all ears. As long as I stay out of high gear it starts right away, and runs well. I haven't put any implements on or dragged anything with it yet to see what it will do working. Also.. The temp gage has not moved very far from cold. I think it is shot. DO H's normally stay on cold unless actually doing work? Forgive my newbie questions, I normally run a 454 or one of the fleet of grey tractors.

Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
